We work with you to review your product data; its quality and completeness. We also discuss and agree your preferred way to upload your product and event data, in line with your in-house technical capabilities. To begin uploading product data, you will receive a test account.

 

There are three ways to input your traceability data into the fTRACE system:

  • Manual data input via web portal
  • Semi-automatic XML upload
  • Automatic data delivery

Your preferred data upload method will be agreed during this step.
